@SerfnUSA Because Itoi is a Japanese commie. Earthbound has a gay NPC (Tony) and Mother 3 is nothing but ancom commentary.
@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA He's pretty left leaning. He participated in a lot of Japanese social justice causes during his young adult years. And if you go on his Twitter or his personal website he does post a lot of neo-left stuff like COVID vaccines and being pro-Ukraine.

@xianc78 @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Never played or cared about the Mother series, sorry.
@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA What about Itoi's other works. He's a huge celebrity outside of video games.
@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Fair enough. I don't even know most American celebrities either.
